How to tell the engine version of a Windows standalone?

[Phil Davis]

Hi Ben,

I recently simplified my approach to this (hat tip to Richard Gaskin) 
and am very pleased with the outcome.

In the card script of my 1-card app mainstack I have this code:

on saveStackRequest
     set the uStandaloneVersion of the owner of me to the 
cRevStandaloneSettings["OSX,longVersion"] of the owner of me
     pass saveStackRequest
end saveStackRequest


Then in the stack script of the same stack I have this:

function appLongVersion
     return the uStandaloneVersion of me
end appLongVersion


So any code anywhere in the app (like in the "about" window) can "put 
appLongVersion() into x" and it'll work.

Of course you can change which 'cRevStandaloneSettings' you use to suit 
your needs.

Thanks -
Phil Davis
